What role do books play for liesel,Hans,Max, and in the novel as a whole?

The written word awakes something profound in Liesel. It's like before reading she saw in black and white and after she saw in colour. Liesel is able to communicate her fear, hopes, angst and terror in ways she never thought possible.

Max and Liesel form a strong bond through the written word, as do Liesel and Hans.
